Program Overview

The hallmark of FAU’s Graduate Neuroscience Training Program is breadth. The curriculum encourages students to sample multiple, distinct thematic areas during their first-year, while also accommodating the more experienced student with a deeper dive into specific areas.

All students receive nationally-competitive stipends (in 2017, $30,000/yr) made up of guaranteed research and teaching assistantships, health insurance coverage (valued at $3,850/yr), relocation support (up to $1000) and opportunities to compete for research and travel grants. Admitted students who join the NSO receive a complimentary membership in the Society for Neuroscience and the opportunity to host visiting speakers.
